NY Comic-Con Journal: Day 0
So it all begins tomorrow… 🙂 Actually, it technically began about 3 hours ago as the ICv2 Graphic Novel Conference for Professionals is today, a series of panels on the past, present and future of graphic novels. Something I would have loved to attend, but alas, taking off tomorrow from work is about as much
Google Me
A co-worker/friend of mine is tracking himself through googlerankings.com, trying to get his site listed as the number one search on Google, Yahoo! and MSN for his name.

My latest Establishing Shots just went up, and I go off on a bit of a personal, real world tangent before ripping into idiot trolls: At this point, there’s some ill-mannered idiot out there reading along wondering why I’m not writing about Spider-Man’s new costume (I give it six months), or offering yet another opinion

Buzzscope Reviews: 11/23/05
More changes afoot: …we decided this would be the perfect week to sneak in another new feature; or in this case, a revamped one. As “writing” and “waiting for the trade” have become the standard for most comic books and comic book buyers these days, we’re adjusting our package…I mean, our weekly review roundup, accordingly,
